🇬🇪 | Today marks a historic day for the Georgian Armed Forces. Exactly 17 years ago, during the 2008 Russo–Georgian War, Georgian air defense forces operating a Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system shot down a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber as it was preparing to carry out airstrikes on Georgian territory.
This was the first combat loss of a Tu-22M3 in the aircraft’s history.
Pictured: the Tu-22M3 over Gori shortly before being hit, and wreckage after it was downed.
Ah yes, the classic Russian “liberation” - burn villages, steal land, kill civilians, then call it fun and “good for relations.” If that’s your idea of a friendly visit, don’t worry, Georgian hospitality for uninvited guests involves body bags and a one-way trip back north.
Did Russian troops go deeper into Georgian territory than claimed? Yes, but 1) it was justified, 2) it was fun, 3) it did wonders for Russia-Georgia relations and put Georgia on a course of sanity, rationality and healthy self-interest, unlike other countries that at some point will have to learn their lesson in much more unpleasant ways than a bloody nose and a little embarrassment.
💥🇬🇪 | Exactly 17 years ago, at this very minute - 23:50 - Georgia’s artillery unleashed fire on Russian columns moving from Java toward Tskhinvali, smashing separatist positions and their tanks and guns around the city.

Unusual zigzag pattern over the Black Sea at very low altitude (~250 m) - possibly a flightradar glitch or ADS-B spoofing.
Well, that was quick: Agile Spirit 25, the large-scale exercises involving 🇺🇸 U.S., NATO and allied forces, has officially wrapped up in 🇬🇪 Georgia with a closing ceremony today at the Vaziani Training Area.

This patch has nothing to do with Anchiskhati or Georgian Orthodoxy and Russian imperial "Orthodoxy" has nothing in common with Georgian faith. It’s literally a patch used by Russian soldiers in wars, today against Ukraine, and tomorrow they’ll come with the same Christ patches to kill Georgians. Don’t twist it.
Weird patch combo for a Georgian Ranger - the FOG Blackbeard/Queen Anne’s Revenge flag paired with a Jesus Christ patch, the kind mostly seen on Russian troops�� quite the choice.
🇷🇺 9M730 Burevestnik (NATO: SSC‑X‑9 Skyfall) — a Russian nuclear‑powered, nuclear‑armed cruise missile with an alleged "unlimited range," unveiled by Putin in 2018.
Designed to evade missile defenses with a low, unpredictable flight path, it’s tested at Novaya Zemlya, where satellite imagery shows active launch sites.
On Oct 5, 2023, Putin claimed a successful test - unconfirmed - sparking concerns over renewed nuclear testing and radioactive risks from its exhaust.
